ioSafe Introduces the Industry's First 3.5-inch Hard Drives with Disaster Protection

(June 10, 2008)-- ioSafe, provider of disaster-proof hardware and disaster recovery services, has introduced the ioSafe 3.5 series, the industry's first internal hard drive with disaster protection that offers computing systems - from PCs to servers - convenient, affordable, integrated data protection.

The ioSafe 3.5 drives are the first internal hard drives rated to protect data from fire and full immersion in water. They can be deployed and used exactly like any other industry-standard 3.5-inch disk drive, but with the added capability of disaster protection. The ioSafe 3.5 family extends the benefits of enterprise-level disaster protection to consumers, small businesses and remote offices, allowing them to secure their personal, financial and other data from unforeseen disasters without any other technology or hassle.

"The ioSafe 3.5 series represents an entirely new direction for the data storage industry," said Robb Moore, CEO of ioSafe. "What we're offering is versatility, simplicity and peace of mind. Almost any computer or storage device containing vulnerable yet critical data can now have the ease of disk storage combined with our data disaster protection technology and exclusive Disaster Recovery Service. From small home offices to the
largest enterprise, anyone struggling with backup, disaster recovery, security and compliance should consider the benefits of ioSafe technology."

"Small and medium businesses generally have no disaster recovery (DR) plans in place simply due to cost and complexity issues," said Arun Taneja, senior analyst and founder of The Taneja Group, an industry analyst group focusing on storage. "What is important about ioSafe's 3.5 product is that it offers these customers an affordable, easy-to-implement solution for DR that integrates with their existing hardware and software infrastructure and requires no change to their existing processes. It is a truly viable approach to DR with an entry price point that starts below $350."

"Integrating ioSafe 3.5 drives and our industry-leading Netgear ReadyNAS technology is a simple way for our customers to add protection to their precious digital data," said Paul Tien, vice president of storage at Netgear. "We're excited to work with ioSafe and enable the world's first NAS device integrated with ioSafe technology."

"After a comprehensive evaluation of options, we chose ioSafe products because they provide an economical way for us to improve upon HIPAA compliance, security and disaster recovery," said Mardie Caldwell, CEO of
Lifetime Adoption, a small California business focused on adoption facilitation. "Our company, without the resources of a large enterprise, is still compelled to resolve the same HIPAA compliance, disaster recovery and security issues that are especially challenging for the smaller businesses.Implementing an offsite strategy would expose our critical data to constant human error and unnecessary security risks. Using ioSafe technology is an integral component in our disaster recovery and compliance strategy."
